An Opportunity To Help Defend Marriage

Defend Marriage 2008Dear Pastor,

As I’m sure you are aware, marriage is under attack today as never before. Yet marriage is vitally important for healthy families and a stable society. Australians have a brief but important opportunity this week to defend marriage – can you help?

The saying “as goes the family, so goes the nation” reminds us that nothing is more fundamental to a stable society than healthy marriages. Successful societies around the world and throughout the ages have esteemed marriage. As Hebrews 13:4 says: “Marriage should be honoured by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.” (more…)

More Deaf Ears Open – More Deliverance From Demonic Activity, In Hallam, Rosebud (VIC) & Sydney (NSW) – As Holy Spirit Revival Enters 7th Week

Healed Man Shows Medical ReportsDear Family and Friends in Christ,

With progressive thanksgiving and great excitement we continue to bring the wonderful report of dwelling in God’s Awesome Presence at the Holy Spirit Revival meetings of salvation, healing and deliverance! Now into its 7th week, thousands from across Australia (and a few overseas visitors) have come to these meetings to meet with the Lord, to be mightily changed – touched, revived, refreshed, renewed and set on fire for God!

As the Melbourne meetings continued over the weekend, Pastor Danny visited Sydney and spoke in Blacktown at a Catch The Fire/Rise Up Australia Prayer and Revival meeting and then in the Blue Mountains NSW, at a Mighty Men of God Conference.

Lady Healed From complete deafness in her Right earPastor Danny reports: “The Fire of God mightily fell at both meetings. The CTFM meeting saw many people healed physically as well as spiritually. A wonderful miracle in Sydney was a woman who was 80% deaf in both ears and could not hear clearly at all without hearing aids. As I prayed she received her healing instantly no longer needing her hearing aids. As people watched this healing their faith was enlarged; they were mightily moved by the Presence and Power of God, many flocking to the altar for an impartation from the Lord God Almighty, hungry for Him and drinking from His River of Life. I thank God that I decided to continue to travel and minister, as I see God’s supernatural hand at work in every meeting. All glory goes to Him for all that He does.” (more…)

Day 34 – Holy Ghost Fire Continues To Fall In Melbourne And Revival Spreads To Newcastle, NSW

Ps. Jason prays for a touch from the Holy SpiritExpressions of praise, worship and adoration were evident as the people of God came together to give thanks for all that He is, among them in His manifest goodness, glory and love!  The Spirit of God is truly making His presence felt at Hallam in the South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, dwelling with those who gather with hungry hearts to meet with their Maker.  The Lord is continually given all the glory as He supernaturally heals, creatively restores, and releases hope to so many, through lifting depression, oppression, and setting many into His glorious liberty! How gracious is our Almighty Heavenly Father!

Healing from partial paralysis after car accidentThis morning a young lady (who has been attending the Revival meetings regularly) called in to the office to collect some more brochures, explaining that due to the motivation received through the Revival meetings, she has now chosen to catch the train to work so she can evangelise and share Jesus on the way!  She is on fire with God’s love and passion to see those in the prisons of darkness come into the joy of knowing Jesus personally and living the life of Christ in an abundant and fulfilling way. She said, “At first it was scary, but most people really are open to hearing about Jesus – and we just need to get over the fear that they may not want to know.” Her face was radiating God’s love, alight with joy, as she bubbled over sharing this testimony with me!

Study Shows Christianity Makes Men Better Husbands and Fathers

By Tim Waggoner

Dad & Kids“I find that fathers who are religious, and who have partners who are religious, are—on average—more likely to be happily married, to be engaged and affectionate parents, and to get and stay married to the mothers of their children.”

(Virginia)—In a research brief this month, Bradford Wilcox, a sociology professor at the University of Virginia, analyzed three national studies in order to discover if “there is any evidence that religion is playing a role in encouraging a strong family orientation among contemporary American men?” His research led him to conclude that men who regularly attend Christian services are engaged in happier and stronger marriages and are more involved in the lives of their children than men who do not.

Sharia Law SHOULD Be Used In Britain, Says UK’s Top judge

By Steve Doughty

Lord Chief Justice Nicholas PhillipsExplosive: The Lord Chief Justice’s endorsement of Sharia law has already created huge controversy

The most senior judge in England yesterday gave his blessing to the use of sharia law to resolve disputes among Muslims.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Islamic legal principles could be employed to deal with family and marital arguments and to regulate finance.

He declared: ‘Those entering into a contractual agreement can agree that the agreement shall be governed by a law other than English law.’

In his speech at an East London mosque, Lord Phillips signalled approval of sharia principles as long as punishments – and divorce rulings – complied with the law of the land. (more…)

Day 26 – Holy Spirit Fire Continues To Fall In Melbourne Healing Revivial!

Dear Family and Friends in Christ,

It is with great excitement that we continue to bring you updates on the mighty outpouring of the Spirit of God in the South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne that is increasingly spreading as Revival Fire across our nation of Australia! I’m sure that much of the Body of Christ is rejoicing as the prophesied day of His holy visitation in Australia in power and glory has finally come! Now, whether we let this move of God pass us by, or we catch this wave of the Holy Spirit by turning this visitation into a holy habitation of His presence and glory, depends entirely on the response of the Church in Australia!

We at Catch the Fire have been greatly encouraged by the presence of a large number of youth and young adults at the Revival meetings every night. Many said, ‘We have never seen anything like this in our whole life. We cannot wait to be in church every day. Cool, it is so exciting!’ Yes, this is so true. This new generation of Holy Ghost warriors for Jesus are radically experiencing the miracle working power of God in the South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne! (more…)

Day 22- Holy Spirit Fire Continues To Fall In Melbourne Healing Revival

Dear Family and Friends in Christ,

Our most grateful appreciation and thanksgiving goes to the Lord for the many fathers and mothers in the Faith who have gone to be with Him, who have seeded in prayer and travail, and would have loved to have seen what’s being experienced right now in Melbourne!  It is certain that their faithful sowing (in tears) into the heavens for these many prior years has definitely built toward the beginnings of this glorious revival awakening and end-time harvest in the 21st century. Their prayers, added to the fervent hearts of the now generation, has caused heaven’s bowl of incense to be very full and God is pouring from heaven to earth this stream of living water where He may be present, meeting with the hungry surrendered hearts of his people who carry this urgency in their spirits. Does this sound like you? (more…)

JESUS Film Frees Villages From Witchcraft

Villagers Watch The Jesus FilmCentral African Republic (MNN) – A JESUS film team responded to an epidemic of witchcraft in the Central African Republic by “soaking” villages in the region of Bossangoa with the Gospel.  They walked from village to village and showed the JESUS film every night. Eighteen new churches have been planted as a result. 

Area witches reportedly have the power to kill and cause tremendous physical suffering, besides terrorizing the community. The government routinely imprisons accused witches, but prison walls cannot contain their power.  (more…)
